I first met Commander Jim as part of the Royal Rangers, Frontier Camping Fellowship where we reach youth and other men by teaching history through living (camping) in the time period. Jim would represent the early 1800's Voyager's and he was was instrumental in reaching boys and mentoring boys & men for Christ, all the time in whatever he was doing. He was generous to a fault and would go out of his way to help get you whatever you needed. He was a tremendous mentor for myself and for my son and I cherish the many memories I have with him and others around the campfire building each other up and encouraging one another in the Lord.
